“When the first shot was fired, little Jalik Johnson was in the football field. He said he thought there were fireworks. But when more gun shots followed, others recognized the terrifying sound.

Jalik said everybody just started running off the football field at the Mills Pond Park, 2201 NW Ninth Ave., in Fort Lauderdale.

Jalik would never see his Fort Lauderdale Hurricanes youth football coach again. Dave Williams — a 43-year-old DJ and business owner who was better known as “Coach Disco Dave” – was the target of the shooting.

“It should have never been him,” Jalik said. “He was a good guy. He always gave us dollars after practice.”

Before Williams ended up on the ground bleeding in the parking lot, he had brought Jalik and his teammates cookies and Gatorade. He was shot about 8:44 p.m., Thursday.”
